Sticker or traditional wallpaper
Décor Imprimé offers both — here's how to decide based on your project, without bias.
| Self-Adhesive (Smooth / Textured) | Traditional Wallpaper | |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Repositionable, no glue | Not pre-pasted — glue to be applied to the wall (see below) |
| Ideal for | Renters, children's rooms, quick projects | Permanent residential projects, large surfaces, commercial use |
| Removal | Removes without tools, no residue | Peels off cleanly, requires a little more effort |
| Eco-friendly | Standard vinyl | PVC-free, PFAS-free, formaldehyde-free, heavy metal-free |
| Fire Rating | — | ASTM E-84 Class A certified (see details by finish below) |
| Price | Starting from $6.50 / sq ft | Starting from $6.50 / sq ft |
In short: a rental or temporary project → self-adhesive. A residential wall or a commercial project → traditional wallpaper, in the finish that suits your use.
Recommended adhesive
Décor Imprimé traditional wallpaper is not pre-pasted — a non-woven wallcovering adhesive must be applied to the wall before installation. We recommend Romans Pro 838 (or Metyl Special in Europe), with the addition of 20% dispersion adhesive. Specialized adhesive, not sold by Décor Imprimé.
The 3 traditional finishes
Traditional wallpaper comes in three finishes — same installation principle, but a different feel and use for each.
| Finish | Feel | Ideal for | Fire Rating | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fibrous | Textile, matte | Residential, everyday use | ASTM E-84 Class A (+ Euroclass B-s1-d0) | Starting from $6.50 / sq ft |
| Satin | Slight sheen | Residential, low-traffic areas | ASTM E-84 Class A | Starting from $6.50 / sq ft |
| Commercial (Type 2) | Smooth, reinforced, stain-resistant | Offices, retail, hospitality — high-traffic use | ASTM E-84 Class A | Starting from $7.00 / sq ft |
